SPECIFICATION `for'xning part of Letters Patent N o. 712,395, dated October 28, 19,02.V

Application liled March 5, 1901.

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that we, DAVID LIPPY and Lo- RENZO D. PATTEN, citizens of the United States, residing at Mansfield, in the county` of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the gures of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation showing all of the different parts properly assembled. Fig. 2 is a detached view of the lifting-spring. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the lifting-spring collar. Fig. 4 isa sectional View of the lifting-spring v collar. i Fig. 5 is a detached view of the lower Washer. Fig. 6 is a detached view of thelever extension. Fig. 7 is a detachedpview of the pump-handle. Fig. `8 is a transverse section on line .fr ac, Fig. 7. Figffis a side elevation showing a modification or a plurality of lifting-springs. Fig. 10 is a section of the handle-spring and its hooked bars. Fig. `11 is a detached view of the upper lifting-spring bar. 1gig. 12 is a detached view of the xedspringf The present invention has relation to pumps.; and it consists in the different parts and combination` of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding partsin all the figures of the drawlngs. i y

In the accompanying drawings, l represents the pump-stock, which may be of the form shown, or it may be of any other desired form, to which stock is connected the well-tube 2, said parts being constructed in the ordinary p manner and have no particular reference to Serial No. 49,756. (No model.)

connected the pump handle or lever 8, which pump handle` or lever may be of auy'desired form, so far as the hand part of it is concerned, and of any desired length.

` For the purpose of changing thefulcrum of thehandle or lever 8 said handle or lever is provided with a Series of apertures 9, which apertures are formed in the U -shaped portion 10 of said handle or lever, said `part being formed U-shaped for the purpose of receiv ing the top or upper end ofthe swinging bar 7.

To the piston-rod 6 is connected the sleeved ferrule 11, preferably by a set-screw, but may be attached .in any other or well-known manner, as it will be understood that the sleeved ferrule 11 must be securely connected to the" piston-rod 6.

To the sleeved ferrule 11 ispivotally connected the inner end of the pump handle or lever 8 by means of a suitable bolt or its equivalent. p

` To the handle or lever Sis securely'connected the bifurcated lever extension l2 bymeans of suitable clamping bolts or rivets, said lever extension being formed of any desired length and is extended to the opposite side of thepistonrod from the handle or lever 8 and upon which is adjustably connected a sliding adjustable Weight 13, which is held at any desired point of adjustment by means of a setscrew 14 or its equivalent.

If desired, a disk or plate, such as 15, may be located upon the upper side of the over hanging arm 5, and through which disk the piston-rod 6 moves up and down. The disk 15 is for the purposeof receiving and holding the bottom or lower` end of` the liftingspring 16, said disk forming a resting-place for` the lower end of the spring.

Upon the piston-rod 6 is located the collar or ange 17, which collar or liange is held in proper position and adjustment by means of a set-screw, such as 18, or-its equivalent.

IOO

Between the collar or Iiange 17 and theupper side of the disk 15 and around the pistonrod 6 is located the helical or lifting spring 16.

For the purpose of adjusting the tension of the lifting-spring 16, in connection with the adjustment of the sliding weight 13 on the lever extension 12, the collar or iiange 17 is moved up or down upon the piston-rod 6, thereby changing the distance between the bottom orunder side of said collar and the top or upper side of the overhanging arm 5.

By providing the adjustable weight 13 it can be brought to or from the fulcrum of the operating handle or lever, so that it will be unnecessary to adjust the weight with reference to the tension of the spring 16 except to provide adjustment within narrow limits, or, in other Words, the spring 16 is adjusted with reference to the column of water to be lifted and the weight placed upon its arm, and then to bring about the proper equalization the collar 17 is adjusted up and down Within a limited space, so as to bring about a true adjustment as between the column of water to be lifted, the tension of the spring 17, and the weight 13.

Itwill be understood that various adjustments must be employed to bring about the result, reference being had to the height of the column to be lifted or the volume of the column of weight to be lifted.

It will be understood that any desired numbei' of lifting-springs, such as 16, may be employed, if desired, and for the purpose of illustrating this feature we have in Fig. 9 shown two lifting-sprin gs 19, located between the bars 20 and 21, the bar 2l being a fixed one and the bar 2O a movable one, so that as the pump-handle 8 is operated the two springs 19, which are the equivalents of the spring 16,

will be compressed and expanded. The collar 17 is adjustable in the same manner as the same collar shown in Fig. 1.

If desired, the hooked rods 22 and 23 may be employed, the hooked rod 22 being connected to the handle 8 and the hooked rod 23 connected to the eye 24 and the spring 25, located between the hooked ends of said rod, and as the handle 8 is moved upward the hooked ends of the rods will be brought toward each other, thereby compressing the spring 25, by whieharrangement the stored force of the spring islexerted to pull the handle 8, thereby acting as a counterbalance to the adjustable sliding weight 13.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of a pump-casing provided with a head, a reciprocating rod eX- tended above the head and provided with an adjustable collar, a springinterposed between the head and adjustable collar, a handle provided with a U -shaped portion, said U-shaped portion provided with a series of apertures, a hook pivoted to the head and Ithe U-shaped portion of the handle, a bifurcated extension fixed to the handle and provided with an adjustable weight, and the sleeveA fixed to the reciprocating rod and the inner end of the handle pivoted to the sleeve, substantially as specified.

In testimony that we claim the above We have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of two witnesses.
